| LATERAL TIE-CLIP DESIGN DATA (CANADA)
The “Lateral Tie-Clip System” includes both the Lateral Tie-Clip and the V-Tie™. Design data for the System are reported separately for Canada and the United States in the following tables because design methods and requirements for masonry ties and their uses differ between their respective codes and standards.

V-Tie™ (1 per leg)
|
Notes:
| (i) |
The tabled strength and displacement are based on tests using the FERO V-Tie™ with two Lateral Tie-Clips (one per V-Tie™ leg). No mortar was used. With the addition of mortar providing confinement, increased factored resistance and reduced tie system displacement may be realized.
|
| (ii) |
The ultimate strength of the Lateral Tie-Clip System, Pult, is determined in accordance with CSA A370-04, “Connectors for Masonry”, and is calculated by multiplying the average strength established by testing by (1 - 1.64 cov). The factored resistance of the Lateral Tie-Clip System (ΦPult) is calculated using Limit States Design with Φ = 0.9, and following the procedures of CSA A370-04.
